I'm just wondering......
If I've got the whole God thing wrong, lets say he does exist and he has the keys to heaven and stuff.
Who made God?
Before God, who was the God who made God? And, based on the Greeks all being Gods eons ago, what God made them eh?
It doesn't make sense to me.
The more anyone thinks about the existence of God, the more likely they'll be to doubt their faith.
I'm still amazed at the number of seemingly 'clever' people who believe in him.

What was there...
...before the Big Bang?
Similar question, different existential ramifications.

The difference is...
... that the majority of cosmologists know when to stop asking questions. They might draw the line at a different place, but it's perfectly reasonable to say that there are some things that will probably be unaswerable.

'Before' the big bang
My understanding is that 'time' is a result of the existence of space, and so answers to questions like 'before the big bang/beginning of the universe' are meaningless to the human mind as we are incapable of understanding a frame of reference in which time does not exist.
From a religious POV, this philosophical point was actually tackled by Augustine over 1500 years ago. Do keep up.

Completely agree with you on ...
... the number of seemingly otherwise intelligent people who believe in it though. I just find it hard to take my boss seriously when I know that he has an imaginary friend.
